Joren Tangelder and Anthonie Jacobson, co-founders of Hydryx, aim to address methane emissions from landfills, which account for 20% of overall methane emissions. Their system involves smart sensors that continuously measure gas quality at various points on the landfill, automating valve adjustments to reduce methane leakage.

This approach improves current methods that rely on manual monitoring. By capturing biogas, the system can generate electricity, similar to solar panel systems. Methane is significantly more harmful than CO2, making this innovation crucial for environmental sustainability.
